How they Do y: in st. Louis.

FROM the Electrical review.
The toll patrons OF the telephone line In st.
Louis do not pay fixed subscription to the conf
pany, but merely the sum OF cents for each COM
munication. The collection OF this sum is effected
automatically by the apparatus itself. Above the
transInitter there is box containing slit in the
upper part. When the subscriber wishes to com
municate with any one he places scent piece in
the Silt and takes the receiver from its hook The
COIN, In sdlng, closes circuit, call Is made at
much as he pieases, either with the ofiicer or
another subscriber. When the conversation 1,
finished. he has only to hang up the receiver in
order 10 give an automatic signal TO break the
communication and the coin falls into a box whose
Key Is carried Dy the company's collector. IL the
person with whom the subscriber wishes to speak
Is already In communication the employe OF the
central offlce informs him of the TACT by means of
q contact upon which he presses, and which sets
mechanism IN operation that drives the coin to
the side OF the box; and when the subscriber
hangs up his receiver the money is returned 10
him. More than 200 OF these apparatuses are now
In operation In st. Louis, and giving very good re-
